Honniasont
Template:Short description The Honniasont (Oniasont, Oniassontke, Honniasontkeronon) were a little-known Indigenous people of the Northeastern Woodlands originally from eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.[1] They appear to have inhabited the upper Ohio River valley, above Louisville, Kentucky.[2]
Language
The Honniasont language may have been considered an Iroquoian language. [3] Charles Hanna believed their name, first appearing as Oniasont on 17th-century French maps, to be a variation of the name of the tribe recorded in West Virginia and western Virginia at the same time period, as Nahyssan and Monahassanough, i.e. the Tutelo, a Siouan language speaking people.[2]
